Procurement Says No

The thoughts of two CIPS award winning procurement gods who want to share our love of procurement with newbies, oldies and the procurious. Generally we'll be talking nonsense about all things procurement, with the occasional nugget of priceless insight. All views are our own - we're not affiliated in any way to anybody or anything!

    Procurement Says No Ep21 The 12 Days of Procurement - Christmas Special

    Rich and Ed bring you Christmas cheer with their 12 Days of Procurement - as they count the days and suggest things you should be doing - like sorting 12 unpaid invoices, approving 10 requistions, unsticking 9 contracts stuck in legal, reading 6 Linked-In lists, defining 3 definitions of ESG and a releasing  tender on Christmas eve...you get the picture.  Listen to find out the whole 12 days!   And will Ed uncover what exactly the Apostles' Creed is all about?  Plus news from VW and L'Oreal on batteries and decarbonisation, more news on our collabs with ProcureCon and Alchemie and we celebrate new listeners in the Czech Republic, Lesotho, Armenia, Papua New Guinea and, er, Russia. And shocking news that AI will wipe out 80% of Procurement people.  Possibly.   Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/procurement-says-no--5886102/support.

    Procurement Says No Ep20 Death of a Salesman

    Rich and Ed meet a real life salesperson, Meir Ziskin, who is an expert in automation and robotics sales.  Mier will be answering all those salesy questions such as what makes a good salesperson; what does he really think of procurement people; how to stop “tyre kickers”; what does sales want from procurement; can salespeople be a buyer’s friend; do competing sales organisations really talk to each other about tenders, margins and whether to bid; what’s the hardest sell; and how to sell a pen. Plus we have news from the world of procurement; our views on the US election (Make Procurement Great Again) and its possible impact on tariffs and pricing; CIPS stats and news of their new CEO; a new procurement on-line cult; and how Procurement Says No seems to be ideal holiday listening all around the world. Have a listen and you'll also find out whether two humps are better than one. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/procurement-says-no--5886102/support.

    Procurement Says No Ep19 Now Recruiting

    Procurement Says No Ep18 The Procurement Act

    Rich and Ed explore the strange and wonderful world of Public Procurement with the Procurement Act 2023.  We are “deep diving” into what it’s all about with special guests Graeme Hunter and Verity White and asking questions such as:  What is it and why?What are the differences compared with PCR 2015?Will it encourage SMEs?What’s the new system going to be like?What is a Dynamic Markets process?Will it create a new best practice and does it encourage or stifle competition?  We have conclusive proof.Is there a reduction in bureaucracy or even more than ever?Is it all about to change or be postponed anyway?  We’ve also got a little bit of procurement news and plenty of fun and japes. It might all sound a bit heavy and technical, but don’t worry because we’re not. If you’re a Public Procurement person in the UK – listen in and learn; and if you’re not – listen in and see how lucky you are not to be a Public Procurement person.  There's so much in it that we've broken our "not more than 35 minutes" rule yet again. Some say these rules encourage fairness, prevent corruption and provide a clear audit trail; and some say they limit speed, innovation, efficiency and supplier involvement.

    Procurement Says No Ep17 Collaborators feat LTP

    It’s a collab podcast – this time we are joining forces with fellow smooth podcasters Luke Stroud and Luke Burford aka 2Lukes of Let’s Talk Procurement (verified as the second best procurement-based podcast).  Yes, it’s PSN vs LTP.  GenX vs GenZ.  Masters vs Learners.    We discuss important matters such as: which animal would be best at procurement; how to spot “red flags” in recruiting and job ads; whether you always need a notepad; should we have merch, an Amazon mini-series and possibly the sponsorship of Tranmere Rovers? Plus: what usually goes wrong in procurement; how to “proc block”; being judged on savings alone; the most important 3 things to take into a negotiation (choose from cheese grater, bleach, knife, cocoa butter, toothpaste and others); should you negotiate with 10 buyers or 1 head of Procurement; the best negotiation tactics; and the biggest changes in procurement in the last 30 years.  And: whether it's true that only 2 people have ever really wanted to go into procurement as their first choice career. It's absolutely full of advice of the sort that will get you a long way to achieving CIPS level 5.  And it’s free – even cheaper than crisps this time.   Listen now on all the usual pod places. #letstalkprocurement Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/procurement-says-no--5886102/support.

    Procurement Says No Ep16 Consulting with Consultants

    Rich and Ed spill the beans on all the tricks of the trade in consulting and interim management.  So have a listen if you are buying them, working with them, are one or want to be one!    We are selling the consulting crown jewels for nothing by answering questions from our listeners around the world - when to use an interim vs a consultant; boutique or Big4; what's the best part and worst part of being a consultant; whether you can bluff your way in consultancy (yes, a bit); measuring a consultant’s “value add”; whether to go for a risk/gain share approach; why the big software houses don’t do their own implementation; how to find an interim; and how to stop consultant firms “landing and expanding”. We’ve also got the news - including Procurement and Supply Chain live London, what to buy from "Alibaba Guaranteed" and of course no news at all from CIPS. As usual, it’s full of advice that is as cheap as crisps. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/procurement-says-no--5886102/support.

    Procurement Says No Ep15 Return to Listmania

    For our first anniversary, Rich and Ed Return to Listmania - our favourite topic of random lists for everything in procurement - including a list from someone off the internet - the 9 laws of stuff, plus 7 skills for supplier management, lists of procurement hats, 5 stages of aligned strategy, 11 trends for 2024 and a load of other hopeless predictions - including the demise of the letters C, X and Q.  And we've got news - including more lists, this time of the top 10 ethical procurement companies (no we don't believe it either) with the BS thermometer of news, Dunkin's new CPO, CIPS's launch of their brand strategy, CAP's top uses for AI, and our podcast being big in Oman as well as now officially recognised as the 19th best global procurement podcast or something. We've also got some hard questions to answer from our listeners - what your 90 day plan should look like; how to save money on fleet management; when to e-auction and use Amazon for Business, and how many suppliers is the right number! You'll love it - we have a list of 9 reasons why. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/procurement-says-no--5886102/support.

    Procurement Says No Ep14 Deus Ex Machina

    Ashley Williams from Mishcon de Reya is back as we delve further into artificial intelligence and machine learning.  Will machines save us?  Will capitalism save us?  What will the world’s despots do with this technology?  Is this a turtle on its back?   Will Charlie Watts really play drums on a new Whitney album?  Will lawyers and procurement people be replaced by bots?   Who’s best – big companies or small companies?  What is intent prediction and will Ed go to prison for a crime he is yet to commit?  Or will we just be regulated to a higher standard (oh, that’s a bit dull)?   All of these questions will be answered, sort of.  And we have news of a very exciting procurement job in construction (no, really); procurement’s role in creating massive plastic pollution; procurement podcast lists (we love a list); and who really cares about the top 10 ERP systems.   Plus your questions on travel sourcing and AirB&B; above the line marketing; and the best categories for big savings.
